Last time around. I changed a few things after some suggestions I received. The cattle area was slanted away from the edge of the table.
The industry area was also slanted and a small curve put in. The end curve will drop down at 2.5% grade from 4" to 0" and then go into a tunnel, giving me the whole top for industry. There will be a concrete retaining wall on the inside of the curve. Also added a small river, great idea Galen !
On another happy note, I spent all the money I had saved on track. Last night my wife asked me how much track I still needed. Then she said go ahead and buy it
Then she said and go ahead and buy that cuuute little train ( one car is a train to her) you have been looking at. So, I have all the track and joiners on the way 
And, a Mantua 0-6-0-T 
What a gal !
Now, if you will will excuse me, I am going to cut some lumber
